    And you know that plastic can be a term used to mean non-organic, right? Especially for plastic-adjacent materials like silica gel and silicone-encased breast implants. Or the silicone and polythene that is often used for facial implants.

    And plastic surgery does not make the body more flexible (many plastics are quite rigid). It modifies the shape of parts of the body.

      I didn’t say it made the body more flexible, it is rather a way of temporarily enabling the body to change, a state of temporary plasticity.

        It’s just making your body more plastic, meaning flexible, by changing it

        I didn’t say it made your body more flexible

        Hmmm.

          Plasticity = malleable

          Flexible is correct, but given the context malleable is more appropriate.
